Use of Lyophilized dCHPM Allograft in Venous Ulcer Treatment

This case report details the treatment of an 87-year-old female patient with a severe venous leg ulcer (VLU) on her lower right leg, measuring 11 cm by 4 cm, which exhibited exposed tendon and heavy purulent exudate. The patient had a history of diabetes and smoking, and previous conservative therapies had failed. Initial evaluation involved cleaning the wound and applying five lyophilized dehydrated complete human placental membrane (dCHPM) allografts, following standard facility protocol. Clinicians rated the application ease as excellent. Follow-up evaluations at 27 and 41 days indicated the development of healthy granulation tissue, with further applications of dCHPM allografts. By day 62, the wound showed 95% closure, with clinicians noting good results and significant tissue development around the exposed tendon. The report emphasizes the effectiveness of dCHPM allografts in promoting wound healing in chronic venous ulcers.
